black aro in canada

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
finally found a a lfs close to home thats willing to order them from Colombia... 250$ each.... does that make sense?
 
5-6 inches.. they come from Colombia?

Doesn't sound right, generally the only size available this time year are 10-12". From what I understand they are in brazil and colombia. From what I've heard they are illegal for export from brazil so only colombia export. Part of what makes them hard to find.
 
They are out of the season right now so they are quite rare.
 
yeah plus right now the temp is -28 here so it does not help. and the guys said they can only put 2 per box that they import (guessing its due to the cold temperature right now)

what's season are they cheap?
 
Get your new tank set up and cycled, look for some baby blacks this spring and get a dozen. Grow them out and sell them next year at this time. Use the money you make to help pay for an upgrade on a larger tank. Baby blacks are a challenge to raise, but with your experience raising discus you shouldn't have much a problem.
 
good idea but aren't aros aggressive to each other? How much do babies fetch for? I've only seen sub adults for sale.
